Bullet Pointy Fun 1

Aug

2008

Nothing major, so it’s time for some bullet points! Tropic Thunder is fucking hilarious. I’m glad I went and saw it, although I’m not glad that my current financial situation dictates that I get one night out approximately every two weeks. The Olympics being on a tape delay to the West Coast is fuckin’ weak. ...

Well, it only took a month, but I’ve now corrected the times on all 1890 posts that came over from Blogger. I need a hobby.

The Long And Short Of It

2008

When I was swimming while I was in Idaho, I thought maybe the pool might be a little longer than the pool at my gym, since it was taking me a solid six minutes longer to finish 100 lengths than it had been at my gym. The folks at the pool in Idaho swore up ...

A Little Toasty 3

2008

In an effort to finally rid myself of this cold, I’m trying out the theory that the constant entering and exiting of air conditioning is what’s made it so bad. Consequently, I’ve left my air conditioner on fan mode. This isn’t anything terribly revolutionary, but it’s been a bit warmer than usual here and it’s ...

A Brief Update

2008

Cold: Yep, still there. Thought it was going yesterday, then woke up to a nice fresh bout of coughing up internal organs this morning. Fun! Work: Still unemployed. I suppose I should be grateful that I’m not fighting through this nonsense while working, but the financial and boredom situations are both getting a bit concerning. ...

What’s Up, Doc?

2008

Two bits of interest from my annual physical this morning. First of all, I’ve grown an inch. I’ve never measured above 5’4″, and often called myself 5’4″ on a good day. For some reason, today, I measured 5’5″ even. Not that I’m complaining, particularly since this height change knocks a solid point off my BMI. ...

Okay, Lungs, Very Funny

2008

It’s real amusing that you’re trying to escape my chest, but making me cough so much I lose my voice is not fuckin’ cool. And making me whip suddenly between restlessly full of energy and narcoleptically exhausted is not helping, either. I guarantee you that I will start feeling better approximately the same time friday ...

Yep, I felt that.

Dear Immune System

Thanks for waiting until I was in Vegas last night to completely collapse on me. It allowed me to enjoy the vast majority of my vacation without feeling like I was going to cough up a lung. Made the drive back to L.A. this morning a little miserable, but at least I had a box ...

2008

As I go through and update the dates and times that got fucked up in the Blogger-to-Wordpress transition, I’m glancing through my old posts and occasionally coming across things that seem really funny in retrospect. Particularly given that I’ll be driving to Vegas tomorrow and will consider any gas price below $4 a gallon a ...
